The first trip

September 04, 2020 to September 24, 2020

Let the adventure begin! Or at least the first trial of adventure, with winter approaching, and Vern semi liveable, I decided to take a trip north before settling in for another winter. I started by heading north, my first few nights being at a boat ramp, abandoned airstrip, and a beautiful site on crown land.

After this little trip, I was pretty confident in my setup so I started to head north. The plan was to go explore northern ontario until it got too cold and I needed to head back for the winter. I spent some time Killarney Provincial Park which was absolutely beautiful.

I carried on and stumbled into Sudbury where I drove past Canada's largest mural. It was an old hospital that was painted as part of a festival

I stayed out on some crown land near Sudbury and had some delightful waffles with wild blueberries.

I noticed this abandoned prison on google maps and had to hike in to check it out.
